Text of the page (random words):
e ve been subjected to moore s old school baseball platitudes and ridiculous clichés about developing winning cultures and building a championship franchise which takes 8 10 years apparently despite everyone in baseball doing it in less time than that also apparently building a winning culture means inviting the team s main rival s mascot to your ballpark tweeted from the official sluggerrr account like being buddy buddy with another team s mascot is totally acceptable in professional sports the royals just solidifying their brand as a loser in not just kansas city but the entire region where pretty much everywhere outside of the 816 and 913 area codes have been completely taken over by the redbirds that s what winning does mr k is probably rolling over in his grave this front office has completely lost it it s a rogue operation there isn t a plan in place here despite what anyone out at the ballpark will tell you chris getz jeff francoeur elliot johnson eric hosmer and mike moustakas continue to get regular playing time despite being five of the worst everyday players in major league baseball the royals front office has not been able to develop a major league caliber player in seven years except for players drafted by the previous gm or through trades go through the best players on the royals roster all but one of them salvador perez was drafted and developed by someone not named dayton moore i wish i could find the tweet but i remember rany jazayerli tweeting a conversation he had with an al central scout about the royals talent after their brutal 2012 start the scout said something along the lines of the royals have a ton of talent and no idea what to do with it turns out this scout was right the royals have taken an embarrassment of riches and turned it into a dollar general the royals had nine players ranked in baseball america s top 100 prospects in 2011 to date none of them have become stars that s an impossibility usually one out of every three of the top 100 prospects turn into at least a serviceable major leaguer none of those nine have become stars and three of them haven t even made it to the major leagues yet with two of them stalling out in aa it s not bad luck it s a broken development system led by men who have no idea what the hell they re doing with million dollar investments eric hosmer was the next joey votto in 2011 naturally the royals wrecked his swing in the offseason mike moustakas looked pretty raw but you could tell there was something there sal perez is one of the most exciting catching prospects in a generation but his plate discipline makes jeff francouer look like george kottaras and perez s free swinging has been completely ignored by the royals and i could almost guarantee you that the royals encourage him to start swinging away believing that plate discipline is something that just magically appears when a player becomes respected at the major league level which brings me to the magic beans theory it s not that the royals are too old school or not up to date on the latest sabermetric trends it s that the royals are completely lacking common sense right now the offense has been non existent for nearly a month yet the 25 man roster has remain unchanged with the exception of an injury and a bereavement leave this ship is out to sea without a map the royals loaded up the boat once they got the cargo that was the hosmers and moustakases and perezeses and just set sail little did they know that there were getz and francouer sized holes in the ship s hull there s a perfect misunderstanding of where offense comes from in this front office the magic bean theory is a legitimate thing moore co believe that you have to fill roles on a team before they can start winning look back at every single gmdm roster and you ll see it every team has soft hitting speedy guys on it in fact you could argue that each dayton moore team has built their roster around these guys and just assumed that the offense would come when hosmer and moustakas hit the big leagues apparently dayton moore didn t realize that you can actually go get offense for pennies on the dollar in free agency and there actually is a third baseman tree and corner outfielder tree and first baseman tree and second baseman tree that yields delicious fruit every december if you actually take a look at how players perform instead of their scouting reports alone there s supposed to be a happy balance between scouting and stats in baseball that s just the world we live in that s the modern game of baseball dayton moore has completely ignored how other baseball teams have won in the last decade and thinks that he can change how the game is actually won which is with power and plate discipline on offense and limiting walks and home runs on the other side of the ball that s what s wrong with this organization an unwillingness to change it doesn t take seven years to build a winning team the fact that david and dan glass fell for that line seven years ago still blows my mind to this day also there s the fact that this front office is obsessed with how they are portrayed in the media here s a tip do your job well enough and don t tell people it takes 8 10 years to do your damn job and you won t have to worry about how you re perceived in the media your obsession with public relations reeks of insecurity it s been a long time coming dayton s gotta go i d argue him as not only the worst gm in baseball right now but also as one of the worst gms in baseball history seven years seven freaking years also roughly 25 of the royals current playoff drought dayton moore has been at the helm of a sinking ship and remains fervent that the entire side of the ship that s missing is just being patched up and we ll be back on course in no time hoping that a winning culture will spring up out of the ground after generation s of ineptitude all is well time for a change but i don t know what kind of good that s gonna do with the group of geniuses currently in charge of the team that let garbage like this happen at their home ballpark tuesday night http pbs twimg com media blzlmk1ceaia1hp jpg twimg after having worked in professional sports for three years it was obvious to all of us in the front office what the most important thing was respecting your fans after pulling crap like this and alienating what few die hards you have left for the last three decades it s a wonder how any of the people in this front office have jobs dollar hot dogs probably time to blow it all up i m sick of it posted by brian mcgannon at 10 07 pm 9 comments sunday march 31 2013 opening day special royals must follows on twitter each year as baseball season beckons i feel it is my duty to inform the electoral public about the best royals follows on twitter seeing as i am the authority on all things royals baseball and everyone else can suck it i give you the 2013 blogger

funny royals fan another solid member of the royals twittersphere minnesotaroyal gage matthews twitter handle will confuse the hell out of you he lives in nashville not minnesota but whatever i guess he went to college there doublestix keith blackburn knows baseball and royals prospects scottsportsman a good friend and fraternity brother who is an expert in the plight of the kc sports fan royalsfbfans take a look inside the short bus of the internet the royals facebook comments section everything from radically misspelled names of players to questions as to whether the stadium is still next to arrowhead creepyroyalsfan this one explains itself normally i m not a fan of parody accounts but whoever is behind this one is a deviant but a hilarious deviant clintt13 sportswriter for st joe s paper a paper that employs a fantastic team of royals tweeters who fill out a good chunk of this list markschremmer reporter for the joplin paper great follow for up to date quotes scores and solid writing with a little bit of humor mixed in cupcakesarenice i think she s the only gal on the list but she s the resident sports broad of the royals twittersphere she s funny not just for a girl and hates being a royals fan just like the rest of us codythorn hot sports takes here sports fans cody has opinions and is also a member of the st joe royals twitter mob i believe they meet at denny s

s admirable speck60 jared speckman loves reminding everyone that he invented the boocano movement that gained kc so much notoriety in the summer of 2012 idiot dannyparkins i tried to stay away from most media guys on this list but danny is a good baseball mind and my favorite radio guy in kc at the moment bhindepmo he s been a staple on this list ever since it s inception and a member of the old guard of the royals twittersphere kevin_agee one of the most knowledgeable and sarcastic royals fans out there which is impressive considering we re all grumpy most of the time dblesky writer over at pine tar press just a solid royals follow benhill88 another friend of mine but also another former baseball player with uncle rico syndrome idiot tjfsports tom is an enjoyable twitter follow versatile and funny if you like basketball nba or college he s a great follow for that too gjalexander there s a special knack for mastering humor on twitter and gavin has it i m running out of superlatives so

to go to the game itself this is a great opportunity information on the event can be found here this should be a great night hope you can make it posted by brian mcgannon at 10 17 pm no comments friday june 22 2012 i know this feeling i know this feeling it s all too familiar to royals fans like you and me the royals sit just 4 5 games back of first place in the most winnable al central division in recent memory on june 22 the sputtering st louis cardinals that has a nice ring to it are coming into town and kc will be at a fever pitch in anticipation of the most meaningful series played between these two teams since well since 1985 i know this feeling the royals are right on the cusp of doing the unthinkable something that royals fans my age have never seen can this team make a run can they history and my intuition say absolutely not in 2008 the royals were 6 5 games back in the central and seven games under 500 in late june i thought maybe gil meche and zack greinke could carry that team to a spectacular finish the only highlight for the rest of the season was david dejesus walking off against the mariners in mid july and then the most vicious tease in recent royals history as the team went 18 8 in september and set off unbridled and unfounded optimism we go to 2009 the royals teased us yet again starting 18 11 with the best pitcher in baseball heading a decent rotation a few injuries here a trey hillman unicycle ride there and it was over in the blink of an eye 2010 ned yost takes over for trey hillman the royals sit eight games out in early july after a sweep of seattle the royals head into chicago with a chance to make major headway in the division race they don t and proceed to lose seven of their next eight games effectively ending pipe dreams of a miracle run 2011 the royals were never really in it but finished strong and here we are it s the final installment of the 2012 i 70 series on the side of the state that actually cares about it b s st louis cares about it ask them how they feel any time we beat them the cards are ripe for a sweep but i ll take a series win the royals are somehow scratching and clawing their way back to 500 i won t truly believe in a miracle second half run until this team reaches an even win loss record it wouldn t be fair to put myself through that kind of heartbreak again but the reality is that the royals are winning ballgames with a lot of their best players either injured or in the minor leagues jeff francouer continues to suck the life out of the heart of the order but there s brayan pena hitting walkoff doubles here s yuni betancourt hitting go ahead shots in the umpteenth inning while rex hudler giggles like a school boy in the booth sal perez is making his long awaited return this weekend
